Paradise Tiki of Dania Beach

It's got its quirks, like a small surcharge for using a credit card, but if you're looking for a chill place to eat, drink and listen to music, this is it. Jah Steve & The Counteract Crew were awesome on a Friday night. We didn't know what we were missing until we heard the Pink Panther movie theme done Jazz/Reggae style. And while both the food and service were very good, it's the vibe that makes this place special.

(TL;DR at the bottom) Looking for a quick bite to eat on the way out of town, I was ready for the delicious-sounding Huli-Huli. First mark (which alone is understandable!) against the spot was that they couldn't take to-go orders. Upon arriving at the gravel parking lot (could use more eye-level signage in the vehicular driveway entrance cuz I got lucky turning left, and pedestrian walkability to the facility), it was a lovely waterside tiki bar. Jamie or Janine, the wonderfully accommodating manager, took care of me to the best of her ability. The issues started in earnest when she informed me that the menu had been updated and additions weren't allowed to add additions, despite the online menu saying it. So I'll pause right here and say if you own a business with a website, keep. it. upd

I’m so glad we stumbled upon this spot. The food drinks and service were amazing and the location while a bit hard to find was an excellent place on the canal. Don’t let the front of the building scare you off. It’s walking distance from many hotels in Dania Beach.

What a superb and relaxing place. The nice smiling lady taking care of us along with really good drinks and good food. Place to remember.

Unbelievably awful experience, which was especially disappointing because I usually love this place. A friend was visiting from out of state, and I was excited to bring her here. As soon as we sat down, the manager told us they had sold out of both the fish and the shrimp that normally go on the bowls. That already seemed strange for a restaurant, especially since those are core menu items. My friend then asked if they had grouper, since it’s listed on the menu. The manager said yes, they did. We asked if the grouper could be substituted on the bowl instead. She said she’d check with the kitchen. Two minutes later, she came back and told us the kitchen said no. So to be clear: they had grouper available for their grouper sandwiches, but refused to put that same fish on a bowl despite ha
